The 10 Most WTF Moments from “Sick Nurses”

Published

on

Sick Nurses, which is currently streaming on Netflix, is one of the strangest movies you’ll see. The 2007 Thai horror film tells the story of a group of nurses, who assist a doctor with harvesting organs and body parts to sell on the black market, being terrorized by the spirit of one of their victims. Its opening scene suggests a seriously scary film, but it quickly becomes a bizarre, over-the-top, and insane ride of blood and guts. Here are the film’s 10 most WTF moments (some SPOILERS follow).

10. The beach party end credits. What preceded the end credits was a bloodbath of young nurses running and screaming for their lives. Lest the film end without objectifying their good looks, we are treated to all the girls happily frolicking around the beach in their swimsuits for no apparent reason.

9. The film is spoken in Thai and has English subtitles, but why not toss in a line in English for the heck of it? The line in question is, “Wow, so sexy.” This, too, is subtitled—just in case.

8. Near the beginning of the film, one of the nurses is startled into screwing up her lipstick application, streaking a thick red line across her cheek. Does she clean it up? Nah. Why clean it up when you can walk around investigating strange noises looking like you dropped out of Clown College?

7. The opening scene. This scene is actually rather intense, introducing us to these nurses who are struggling to restrain a frightened woman. And she has good reason to be frightened—she’s about to be killed so her body parts can be harvested and sold.

6. Cell phone cheek. Remember the scene in The Dark Knight where a goon had a cellphone sewn into his torso? It’s kind of like that, but inexplicably inside a nurse’s cheek instead. Different ringtone, too, I believe.

5. The vengeful spirit that stalks these nurses has the power to control them by getting into their arms and making them commit violent acts. One of these acts happens between twin nurses. One of the twins lies nearly dead in a tub, while her sister looks on in horror. Her horror escalates once the spirit takes control of her hands—and makes her dismember her sister with a saw.

4. Elsewhere in the hospital, a formal gala is being held. At the end of this gala, the attendees are monotonously singing a song while being sprayed with blood. Sprinklers on the fritz, perhaps?

3. One of the nurses has taken a pregnancy test. She carries this little stick with her after she sees the positive results. Good thing, too, since she later has to use it to fight off an army of faceless nurses on a stairwell.

2. One nurse, who has previously been established as having an eating disorder, is trapped in a room and forced to do terrible things with her jaw—namely, tear it off so that a fetus in a jar can jump down her throat.

1. The twist. I will not reveal it here, but in the end there is a twist that I actually did not see coming. I can assure you, however, that it will invoke one more WTF.

For these and many other WTF moments, check out Sick Nurses on Netflix. In the meantime, watch the trailer below.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
